The wipes are impregnated with essential oils derived from plants, and the mixture used is the result of many years of research. The attractants have been selected to attract passing swarms or swarms exiting hives and thus prevent abandonment of the apiary. Method of use Tear the bag open slightly or pierce the bag producing an opening so that it can be hung in a convenient place(such as a tree),but better yet inside a decoy Beehive. Several decoy beehives can be arranged in the apiary at a maximum distance of 50 meters from the hives. Once the bag is opened,the wipe with the attractants is effective for about 10 days,depending on environmental conditions(if hot the substance is dissipated more quickly). The optimal height of placing the bag is 1.8 to 2 meters above the ground. When used in a decoy Beehive,the ideal is to fix it on an old and empty nest canvas. The ideal orientation of the decoy beehive is with the flight opening facing south.

Instructions for use Performing the test: Step-by-step illustrations Interpretation of resultsAfter 3 minutes, the control line should be clearly visible in the display window of the device. A positive result (indicated by the appearance of both the test line and the control line-see below) indicates that the pathogen sought is present in the sample, and that the larva taken was infected with American foulbrood. Note that even a faint T-line indicates a positive result.A negative result (only appearance of the control line, test line absent) indicates that the sample does not have American foulbrood pathogens. A negative test result does not guarantee the absence of AFB infection in some other part of the colony than the sample tested. Choose the sample with the utmost care.
